Two Indianapolis residents—one an adult and one a juvenile—were arrested early Wednesday morning after leading Fishers Police on a pursuit that began with a wrong-way driver near I-69 and 96th Street.

Just after 2:00 a.m. on June 4, a Fishers Police Department officer observed a vehicle traveling the wrong way on an I-69 exit ramp. The officer activated emergency lights to stop the driver and alert nearby motorists. The vehicle then turned onto the interstate in the correct direction, prompting a police pursuit.

According to police, the driver refused to stop and continued for about a mile before officers were able to execute a Precision Immobilization Technique (PIT) to stop the vehicle.

Following the stop, two suspects fled on foot. Officers quickly apprehended one of the individuals—a 17-year-old juvenile from Indianapolis. The second suspect evaded officers briefly, but was later located hiding in a tree line with the help of a Fishers Police drone. A K9 unit from the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office assisted in taking the suspect, identified as Adolfo Florentino, 21, of Indianapolis, into custody.

Both suspects are facing multiple charges:

Adolfo Florentino

• Resisting Law Enforcement (fleeing after being ordered to stop)

• Possession of Methamphetamine (under 5 grams)

17-Year-Old Juvenile

• Resisting Law Enforcement (fleeing after being ordered to stop)

• Resisting Law Enforcement (forcibly resisting and creating substantial risk while operating a vehicle)

• Possession of Methamphetamine (under 5 grams)

• Possession of a Schedule II, III, or IV Controlled Substance without a prescription

• Operating a Vehicle Without Ever Receiving a License

Fishers Police expressed appreciation to the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office and the Westfield Police Department for their assistance in the incident.
